Sorry I was disappointed. First the trail is flat not a hiking trail at all this is a nature trail good for taking a stroll in the evening with the fam or going for your morning run but if you were looking to hike this is not a hikers trail.

My review is based on hiking if that is not your intention and you are just looking for a very short trail to take a stroll along then yes for that purpose this is a nice little trail with birds and views of the lake and even some nice marsh pictures but if you thought it would involve hiking it doesn’t. My review is not a reflection of the trail itself but for what it was advised as involving.

Bottom line it shouldn’t be under hiking since zero hiking is involved.
